xprtrdma: Use new CQ API for RPC-over-RDMA client send CQs
Calling ib_poll_cq() to sort through WCs during a completion is a common pattern amongst RDMA consumers. Since commit 14d3a3b2498e ("IB: add a proper completion queue abstraction"), WC sorting can be handled by the IB core. By converting to this new API, xprtrdma is made a better neighbor to other RDMA consumers, as it allows the core to schedule the delivery of completions more fairly amongst all active consumers. Because each ib_cqe carries a pointer to a completion method, the core can now post its own operations on a consumer's QP, and handle the completions itself, without changes to the consumer. Send completions were previously handled entirely in the completion upcall handler (ie, deferring to a process context is unneeded). Thus IB_POLL_SOFTIRQ is a direct replacement for the current xprtrdma send code path.
